    DC/ Doggcrapp exercises

    Ok, keeping with the sudden interest in DC Training again these days I was wondering, for those who follow the routine, what are your favorite 3 exercises per body part?

    Do you use free weights or machines? How many times have you had to change up your exercises because of sticking points?

    Should be interesting to see the posts here since I know most of the seasoned guys have/ do this routine.

    Kaptain I notice you do a lot of free weights. Do you find it difficult to do a controlled negative for a six count with free weights?

    I always seem to have trouble with that. I like to mix in some Hammer Strength machines in my routine. Especially in the first few weeks of the program.

    Well, that is the point. It is supposed to be very hard. You are definitely supposed to go down in weight, but it is definitely supposed to be hard. The only machines i really ever do are tricep extensions with the cable, leg presses, incline machine press, cable rows, pull downs (warmup only), and calf raises. but freeweights are definitely where it is at.
